This PW anvil is for sale again and the seller writes" this Peter wright quality anvil has an interesting top stepped working surface feature". You can have this anvil with special feature for $750.The other one is also going for $750 special feature included.

A decorative picture frame comes to mind and a waitress always needs a cork screw or bottle opener

Glad to hear it

Good video Ethan, your strong for your age my 4.5 Ib hammer doesn't` get a lot of use if I can help it.How is the repaired anvil holding up so far?

In these videos ( IMG_0939.MOV I had to keep them short) I am not hitting the anvil  hard and using a 10oz hammer.The chain stays on and the addition of hardy hole sleeve, the 5\8 tapped mild steel tight in the pritchel hole and large magnet under the heal makes the difference. IMG_0936.MOV

Yeah thanks, the Springboks  V all backs was a good game and for a while there thought you guys might have it.

Good luck Ian,

Hey ausfire I`m starting to worry about the all blacks already!

Sounds like you where thinking like me in trying to make it functional but still light enough to be convenient , a more realistic hand would look great but would be too heavy, I do like Gary Huston`s wife poker though

I agree, when are they going a pair of scissors correctly.

This old fellow has seen a lot of work or abuse.

Tobbe malm has some wild and crazy stuff going on in that wonderful work shop ,Christmas greetings

Yeah stainless is a good idea and would look great after it was polished making for a special present. Hey Frosty I only made a left handed one there`s still a right one to make

Yeah Gary good I also like Nathan Baker (workingwithiron) , Torbjorn ahman , Technicus Joe and Daniel  Lee.Also what Rashelle said.

Hi jumbojak not sure if this will help but I made this about 16years ago one of the first things I forged and any one who has tried it says its great.Also it has not rusted.It was sprayed with a couple of coats of clear when it was first made.

cheers.

Interesting video surprised their still using the old belt drives , good suff 

I like it ,very neat job, what type of timber did you use?

wrentiles , keep your fingers out of them jaws.

That's a great start and one serious block of steel.The 112 lb anvil I have has a face width of just 31/2 inches.

Not meant an a insult Ian but from your picture you look like a bit of an ex rugger player

Your going to have some fun uncoiling that spring

welcome jumbojak you come to the right place, there's a lot of good information and advise here.The boot don`t worry me 

Yeah turbo I see that symbol I thought it was a W but its hard to pick the real marks from chisel marks.If that were to be a W then the wilkinson cross would be directly below as this picture, found an interesting line in the Anvils in America book,"I have been told that there are more Wilkinson anvils in Australia than any other make"

beautiful job,scrapping is almost a lost craft.

That may be true but I know how the guy feels if you don`t already own an anvil you want one even more
